You think you had the last laughNow you know this can't be trueEven though the sun shines down upon you nowSometimes you must feel blueYou make the best of each new dayYou try not to be sadEven though the sky falls down upon youCall it midnight, feelin' bad

[Chorus: ]When you wake up to the promiseOf your dream world comin' trueWith one less friend to call onWas it someone that I knewAway you will go sailin'In a race among the ruinsIf you plan to face tomorrowDo it soon

The road to love is litteredBy the bones of other onesWho by the magic of the momentWere mysteriously undoneYou try to understand itBut you never seem to findAny kind of freedom comin' cleanIs just another state of mind

[Chorus: ]

So take the best of all that's leftYou know this cannot lastEven though your mother was you makerFrom her apron strings you passJust think about the foolWho by his virtue can be foundIn a most unusual situationPlayin' jester to the clown
